Winterline Foundation's definition of a global citizen is broad and encompassing:

   

A Global Citizen is an individual who is transnational in outlook, rooted in the values of tolerance and understanding, concerned about issues of justice, and equipped by experience and education to function in a global environment and to make a positive contribution to society.

   

A Global Citizen values and affirms the cultures of others, and is an individual who has learned to appreciate and understand his or her own nation and its social and economic conditions in relation to the cultures, religions and economic, social and political conditions of other countries.

 

A Global Citizen is one who carries a sense of responsibility for others and for our planet and who has the capacity and will to be a leader in society.

   

A Global Citizen is one who has developed a love for what is good and true and beautiful, who upholds values that are universal in their relevance, who is rooted in self-confidence, equipped with tangible skills, and understands how to communicate, encourage, and live harmoniously with those of different viewpoints and perspectives.
